"Filled With Gold" shimmers, eloquently yet simply. What is it about Canada that grows such beautiful songbirds? By the way, there is a contest going on until 10/23, CBC Radio 2's Great Canadian Song Quest. Canadians will choose the place they want written about, from their home province/territory, and the singer/songwriter from that region they'd like to write it. Then, each artist will compose and record an original song. Suzie is on the short list of songwriters from British Columbia and if you are Canadian, you can vote for both Suzie and your favorite location ONCE each day by visiting CBC.

They are young, super talented, earthy and arty. We fell in love with them when we went to shoot them at Cyclops in Baltimore. We had no idea what to expect. They have a new CD, Way Upstate & The Crippled Summer Pt. 1. I even found a site that was selling it on vinyl as a double package with their previous release The Orion Songbook. Just saying...

As you might guess, Frontier Ruckus are playing the CMJ Music Marathon (which is a blast to attend) on October 22 at the Quite Scientific Showcase @ Spike Hill at 11 pm in Brooklyn, NY. That will be followed by some Midwest dates, down to Texas, and then back up to Michigan. The song "Mona and Emmy" is unreleased, from what we can gather, which makes it even more special to share this version with you.
